Director was willing to work with me and others when it came to personal things that came up. I was independent and had to follow my own created schedule to make sure every child was seen at least twice a week for a certain amount of time.

Cons

Not always allowed to do my classes for the day or week. Getting mixed responses with how to do something or how I am doing. I was blamed for not keeping up with classes even though my director was the one who stopped me from continuing classes due to lack of staff for the day or scheduled event. Told things then when the time came, taking back that information and changing of mind on the original decision.

KinderCare offers ready-made curriculum guides, so planning out your day isn't difficult at all. Instead of having your classroom running around like a free-for-all, you have activities and themes already identified for your age group that you can teach to the kids in your class. Even the Infant classroom has a curriculum guide!

Cons

It's a field primarily dominated by women employees, and that tends to lead to gossip, complaints, cliques, and moodiness which definitely brings down morale.

Advice to Management

It would also be wonderful if KinderCare could afford to do more team building activities and staff recognition!
